Lemon-blueberry cake

Lemon-blueberry cake:

3 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup oil
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
zest from two lemons
1 1/2 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups blueberries

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

2. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the butter and sugar together. Beat on high speed for about 5 minutes, until the butter is fluffy.

3. Preheat your oven to 350 around here. Prepare your pan--spray or butter it. Add one egg and beat on high until incorporated, then mix in the next egg. Add the oil, vanilla extract, and zest and mix. Alternate between adding the flour mixture and the buttermilk (I separated it into buttermilk-flour-buttermilk-flour-buttermilk). Then beat for 3 more minutes to get it nice and aerated.



4. Gently mix in the blueberries. Pour the batter into your pan and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.

Sorry...I don't remember if this recipe fills up a whole 13x9 pan, or if I doubled the recipe to fit that pan. You will have to eyeball it...maybe it fits a round pan better >.<
